Just as holistic medicine takes a “big picture” view of physical health as a dynamic interconnection of our body's systems, holistic stewardship helps us see and appreciate all our gifts in relationship to one another. For example, how does your stewardship of time interact with your stewardship of your relationships or health? How might more thoughtful stewardship of your time improve your relationships or health? How might better stewardship of your time, relationships and health improve your financial abundance?

Every Sunday morning, many of God's people sit in churches under the leadership of controlling leaders. Many of these leaders are operating under the spirit of witchcraft and perform occultic practices under the title of “denomination.” In this episode, I'll be sharing 40 signs of these demonic manipulations. I pray that this teaching will open the eyes of anyone under spiritual bondage and that the captives will be set free in the mighty name of Jesus!

I pray that this episode and the information I've provided as well as the scriptures will shine light in the dark places of anyone who is held captive to Satan by way of the occult. Please know that God loves you. There is no place too dark that you have sunk to that He can't find you or deliver you from. Jesus Christ said He came to destroy the works of darkness. He wants to heal, deliver, and set you free from everything that has you bound. Receive your salvation, liberty, and spirit of adoption today in the mighty name of Jesus Christ! Scriptures for further reading: (Mark 7:30-23)(2 Chronicles 33:6)(Acts 8:4-25)(Acts 8:4-25)(Leviticus 19:31)(1 Samuel 15:22-23)(Deuteronomy 18:9-14)

God's Word is full of guidance, encouragement, hope, and life! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/erica-k/support

In this present age of information and technology, we have plenty of head knowledge at our fingertips. But true knowledge – what the Bible calls Wisdom—is all too scarce. Wisdom means far more than knowing a lot. It requires a basic mindset that affects every aspect of life. No matter what is happening in the world around us, God's comfort is always near. When faced with troubled times, we all have two choices: listen to what the world says to do, or see what God has to say and follow His lead. He doesn't leave His children to fend for themselves—His Word is full of guidance, encouragement, hope, and life!

If you are struggling financially, or having difficulty reaching the financial goals you have set, this episode is for you. It will take some time and commitment but you will find that these prayers will be revealing and invaluable in your pursuit of Biblical stewardship. This is a practice that needs to happen indefinitely, and committing to pray for a period of time concerning your finances, and faithfully following through with the Word of God can be an educational, eye-opening experience.

Discipline is love in action. Why do you need to stay disciplined? What is the goal? What does it involve? Is it for yourself? If so, based on your actions, do you really love yourself? Is it for your family? If so, based on your actions do you really love your family? If you answered YES I do love them, then the disconnection between you and discipline comes from having wrong motives for the goal. Take a moment to see where the disconnect comes from if any. Discover the several types of fasting for Breaking Mental, Emotional, Physical, and Spiritual Strongholds and Habits.

Do you know about the importance or value of self-care? Self-care motivates us to maintain a healthy relationship with ourselves so that we have the health and energy to be good to others too. We cannot give to others if we do not have to give anything ourselves. Self-care is not selfish, but necessary. Psychology is all around us, and it is present in everything that we do. What do you think it says when you take care of yourself, and when you nurture yourself? What does it say to yourself, and what does it say to others? In this episode, we talk about the psychology of nurturing the self and discuss the building blocks of nurturing yourself. We will also explore the concept of “Hygge” (a calm, comfortable time with people you love. A complete absence of frustration, or anything emotionally overwhelming, often enjoyed with good food and drinks, warm blankets and candlelight.

According to legend, Thomas Edison made thousands of prototypes of the incandescent light bulb before he finally got it right. And, since the prolific inventor was awarded more than 1,000 patents, it's easy to imagine him failing on a daily basis in his lab at Menlo Park. In spite of struggling with “failure” throughout his entire working life, Edison never let it get the best of him. All of these “failures”, which are reported to be in the tens of thousands, simply showed him how not to invent something. His resilience gave the world some of the most amazing inventions of the early 20th century, such as the phonograph, the telegraph, and the motion picture. It's hard to imagine what our world would be like if Edison had given up after his first few failures. His inspiring story forces us to look at our lives- do we have the resilience that we need to overcome our challenges? Or do we let our failures derail our dreams? And what could we accomplish if we had the strength not to give up? In this episode, we'll examine resilience and cognitive restructuring, so that we have the strength and fortitude to overcome adversity, and to keep on moving forward towards our dreams and our goals.

Emotional experiences stick with people, last longer in their memories, and are easier to recall. And extensive neuroscience research in recent decades makes clear that emotions are essential in our reasoning process: Strong emotions can pull us off course, but in general, emotions support better decision making. So, while you'll want to avoid triggering a threat response, don't try to remove all emotion from your relating. That can diminish the impact of your presence and lead to a cycle of ineffective behavior. Instead, aim for a balance: express just enough emotion to engage the other person but not so much that you provoke a hostile or defensive reaction, shut down the conversation, or damage the relationship. Of course, we may not know how another person will respond to our emotions, and when we are in the grip of strong feelings, it's hard to calibrate how we express them in conversation. The solution is to practice. By having more aware and mindful conversations, we learn not only how specific individuals respond to us, but also how we express our emotions in helpful and unhelpful ways.

"You need to wake up from autopilot mode. You have to live deeply and with more awareness so that you can be attentive to each moment."- Thich Nhat Hanh In my previous episodes, we spend a lot of time talking about being present, being mindfully self-aware, recognizing our habitual patterns, and providing opportunities for delving in to connect with our deeper selves. The underlying idea behind having present moment awareness and living outside of autopilot is summed up beautifully with this quote: “Don't live the same year 75 times and call it a life.”- Robin Sharma (Author of the 5 am club). Practical episode outcomes: recognize the benefits and barriers of autopilot, have an understanding of conscious manifestation and learn all about living your life to the full. An added bonus is a self-reflective exercise. Calendly: https://calendly.com/ericakelechi (Book a 15-minute complimentary consultation) References · Barez- Brown, C. 2017.
